What a great find, and super kudos to you for seeing the potential in the skirt and then actually ACTING on your inspiration. You are inspiring me to have some things hemmed. No, not hem them myself. But actually take them to the very nice seamstress person in my neighborhood. As you know, I am a not-tall person, and I also prefer my skirts at the knee. Anyway, great work here. You look fantastic in this.

I'm a big fan of giving hemming over to the local drycleaner's/alteration place. I did this one myself, but for suits, lined skirts, etc., they do a better job of it ... for only $8 or something. It's a good deal.

I do like "tea length" skirts ... with very high heels. Which just isn't as practical for me. Otherwise, that length just screams "frump" to me, but also, I'm quite petite and short-legged, so maybe that changes my outlook.

I love comments! I do my very best to respond to comments, by email or here, although I am often running late. I also try to follow and comment on my regular readers' blogs. So please let me know you were here!
